Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system of a food processor and a mixing device with a shareable vessel. The invention also relates to a mixing device for the system having a standing part and a vessel which can be inserted into the standing part or is integrated into the standing part. There is a mixing tool in the vessel, wherein the standing part comprises an electric drive with which the mixing tool can be driven.
Claims20
A system comprising
- a mixing device,
- a food processor, and
- at least one vessel with a mixing tool located therein, wherein the vessel with the mixing tool located therein can be used both as vessel of the food processor and as vessel of the mixing device, wherein the food processor comprises an electric drive for the mixing tool, wherein the mixing device comprises an electric drive for the mixing tool, wherein the food processor can rotate the mixing tool at a higher rotational speed than the mixing device, wherein the electric drive of the mixing device is a stepper motor.
A mixing device comprising
- a standing part and
- a vessel configured to be inserted into the standing part or integrated into the standing part, and
- a mixing tool in the vessel, wherein the standing part comprises an electric drive with which the mixing tool can be driven.
A food preparation system, the system comprising
- a vessel that defines a food preparation space,
- a mixing device mounted to the vessel, the mixing device including a mixing tool arranged in the food preparation space and a vessel-mounted electric drive coupled to the mixing tool to drive rotation of the mixing tool so as to mix ingredients in the food preparations pace, and
- a standing part upon which the vessel and mixing device are supported, the standing part including a stand-mounted electric drive coupled to the mixing tool while the vessel and mixing device are supported by the standing part to drive rotation of the mixing tool independent of the vessel-mounted electric drive so as to mix ingredients in the food preparation space,
- wherein the vessel-mounted electronic drive is configured to drive the mixing tool up to a first speed, the stand-mounted electric drive is configured to drive the mixing tool up to a second speed greater than the first speed thereby allowing the ingredients to be mixed with the mixing tool spinning at speeds greater than is possible when the vessel and mixing device are not supported on the standing part while not requiring transfer the ingredients out of the vessel.

A food preparation system, the system comprising
- a vessel that defines a food preparation space,
- a mixing device mounted to the vessel, the mixing device including a mixing tool arranged in the food preparation space and a vessel-mounted electric drive coupled to the mixing tool to drive rotation of the mixing tool so as to mix ingredients in the food preparations pace, and
- a standing part upon which the vessel and mixing device are supported, the standing part including a stand-mounted electric drive coupled to the mixing tool while the vessel and mixing device are supported by the standing part to drive rotation of the mixing tool independent of the vessel-mounted electric drive so as to mix ingredients in the food preparation space,
- wherein the mixing tool has a blunt edge that engages the ingredients in the food preparation space when the mixing tool is rotated in a first direction to perform a mix function and an opposite sharp edge that engages the ingredients in the food preparation space when the mixing tool is rotated in a second direction to perform a chop function,
- wherein the vessel-mounted electronic drive is configured to drive rotation of the mixing tool in only the first direction, and
- wherein the stand-mounted electronic drive is capable of generating greater torque than the vessel-mounted electronic drive and is configured to selectively drive rotation of the mixing tool in both the first direction and the second direction so as to leverage the greater torque available when the mixing tool is performing the chop function.
